This world is not my home I'm just passing through My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue The angels beckon me from heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you If heaven's not my home then Lord what will I do The angels beckon me from heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know My Saviour pardoned me and now I onward go I know he'll take me through though I am weak and poor And I can't feel at home in this world anymore Oh Lord you know... [ steel ] I have a loving mother just up in Gloryland And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand She's waiting now for me in heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore Oh Lord you know... Just up in Gloryland we'll live eternaly The saints on every hand are shouting victory Then songs of sweetest praise drift back from heaven's shore And I can't feel at home in this world anymore Oh Lord you know...
